Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center

As part of Brain Injury Awareness month, which is celebrated in March, we hosted a DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable on March 14, to discuss how the DoD has expanded its efforts to care for wounded warriors with traumatic brain injuries while promoting research to improve diagnosis and treatment.

Col. Jamie Grimes, MD, National Director of the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) and Ms. Katherine Helmick, Deputy Director, DVBIC, also discussed what happens when a military member sustains a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), the differences in levels of severity used to describe them and efforts that might help others with recovery in the future.
